Our Promise

The Ring

Recap:

"Dominic what are you.." Before I could say anything I felt warm lips crush onto mine.

If anyone else watched our kiss they would say that it wasn't anything special but at this moment, at this very moment, it was to me. It was my first kiss with the boy that I shared everything with. All my firsts were because of him. My first flower, my first friend, my first laugh and now my first kiss.

As we broke apart from each other I did not know what to say. We took a moment just to stare at each other in the eyes.

"I have been waiting to do that for a very long time now. This almost feels like a dream." he grinned at me and I could not stop the smile that was itching to spread onto my face.

This was the boy or should I say man that I pictured doing everything with. Nothing can get any more perfect.

That is when I remembered. I remembered that his parents did not like me. I remembered that he had a fiance that he was supposed to marry. I remembered how I promised myself that I would never be a cheater. Even though Sierra cheated on Dominic with Darren does not mean that he could do the same to her and worst of all with me. I told myself that I would never wanted to be cheated on so why would I kiss Dominic?

"Dominic..I-I-I'm sorry I can't." I backed away from his slowly and then turned around and ran past the garden gates. Tears started streaming down my face but I did not care. All that mattered right now was to get away from this place. When I was running, I ran right into Kendrick the butler and asked for him to open the gates. He did not seem to object considering the tears on my now soaked face. He asked what was wrong but I just shook my head and sprung forward once the gates were open.

I should of knew this never would of worked. Dominic and I are from two separate worlds.

Walking into the office the next day was pretty stressful and slow. I was nervous seeing Dominic again because I did not really leave on a good note the other time we meet. By good note I mean running away from him after we both kissed. I know Sierra cheated on him by kissing Darren but as of right now, I was no better than she was.

If anyone would ask me if I regretted what I did I would of shamefully said no because truthfully, I didn't regret it. He was the only person that I ever imagined to be my first kiss.

I need to stop looking at the past. It's over and I have to move on although I don't think he will be so easy to move on. I have to grasp on whatever pride I have left and move on.

I went into my office and there placed on my chair was a single yellow sticky note with oh so familiar hand writing.

Clara, please come and see me. We have a couple of things that need to be discussed. I am not taking no for an answer so please hurry up. I do not like to be kept waiting. You owe me that much.

Well that was a little harsh. I don't think I owe him anything. Sure he is my boss but did he really have to be so impatient. I get that I ran away from him but that does not mean he can be so over dramatic. I was just overwhelmed by the situation.

I opened his door without any knock and there stood Sierra and Dominic standing in the center of the room.

Of course he just had to be with it. After he kisses me he runs back to Voldie. Why am I not surprised. They are both engaged to each other so I get it.

"Good morning." Really, that was the best that I could do. I am so pathetic.

"Someone seems to be in a good mood. Did you find twenty dollars on the floor this morning and just had to scream for joy? Do not fright Clara. You don't have to keep it a secret that you are poor. Everyone already knows." Voldemort was back once more and just had to grace me with its presence.
